Tommy February6 New Single!
Tommy Feburary6 have recently released a new single called LOVELY sweet boy. I was able to get a hold of the video through the usual channels and I can say that the new video is nothing short of fantastic. In the four minutes that comprise this entertainingly surreal video following things happen:
- Dances with Pikachu
- Buys toy soldier and uses it for a microphone for the rest of the video
- Pokemon magically creates two Queen’s guard
- Queen’s guard threaten to shoot two American indie-rock nerds
- Cheerleaders appear and dancing begins
- Japanese old-school breakdancers in the background busting it
- American rockabilly kids looking cool and dancing. Suddenly everyone busts into synchronized Pete Townshend-style windmill air guitar
- Startlingly bright café scene. Everything is lit. Floors, ceiling, walls. More dancing.
- All characters spell out the word LOVELY with their arms in front of a fountain
- More dancing. Thought bubble of Pikachu appears.
- Pikachu appears and the café get even brighter. Everybody is dancing now.
Holy shit! That was the best fucking four minutes of my life. Everyone must see this video. I will post it for people to see, but seeing as it’s a 200mb MPG. I’ll give out the address by request only as to not kill my bandwidth. Oddly, I was only able to get it to play properly in VLC. Mplayer or Quicktime couldn’t deal with it. Just the thought of watching it again gets me so excited I could crap my pants.
Dance Motherfucker Dance!

Ok, so I have watched it. Very very odd. The thing I liked most about it is how amaturish everything is. It is like the dancers only had ten minutes to learn their parts.
I have two questions though. 1)What does Pikachu have to do with this song? 2)Why don’t the videos I download from western bands have this nice of image quality?

The pikachu thing is a tie-in with a movie as the song appears on the soundtrack. I dig the amaturism myself. She’s no dancer but it doesn’t really matter because the video is so much fun to watch. Western videos take themselves far to seriously. I can upload some more videos if you’d like. They’re equally as good.
